These days, singer-songwriter and actor David Blue tends to be remembered only in relation to Bob Dylan. A member of the supporting cast in mid-60s Greenwich Village and The Rolling Thunder Revue. Yet to categorise Blue in this way is reductionist, and does him an injustice. He was something of an archetype of the 60s generation of Greenwich Village singer-songwriters. Yet, esteemed by his peers, he was overlooked. He released seven albums in a decade, and his acting career was shaping up when he ...

Welcome reissue/remaster of British Nirvana’s surprise 1996 album, which revived songs written back in the Sixties but never released. Taking its title from one of those songs, Orange And Blue has all the idiosyncrasies you’d expect from the minds of Patrick Lyons-Campbell and Alex Spyropoulos but done with a nineteen-nineties spin. And its story of how it all came to be, as with all things Nirvana – is not so straightforward and detailed inside the liner notes. Across its dozen tracks, ranging from sci-fi pop ...

Other than Elvis, Carl, and Gene Vincent, not many rockabillies could claim a genuine national hit during the genre’s mid-‘50s heyday—but Sanford Clark could. His low-key vocal on The Fool, supplied by Clark’s Phoenix, Arizona-based producer Lee Hazlewood, gave the deadpan lamentprecisely the feel that it required, Al Casey’s blistering lead guitar adding its snarling rockabilly edge.Once Dot Records picked up the master and its Elvis-like flip Lonesome For A Letter for nationalconsumption and it hit big in 1956, Sanford found himself ...
